Taxus Direct

Thursday, 21 January 2010




Hello Alan

Back on the hills yesterday on a very wild day up on Beinn an Dothaidh above Achallader. We were actually nuts going up on such a day but persisted and managed to climb Taxus Direct which was quite thin with plenty of spindrift pouring down over us. Hard going and we had another night time descent. Not fun in poor conditions. Need to get up earlier. A couple of pictures attached. The final pitch was pretty thin, especially the exit under the chockstone.

Eddie

Thanks Eddie,
You are really 'Old-school', the pair of you. I remember Davie & Co in the 70's going up Nevis in almost any conditions, just in case the weather changed or something took their fancy. Persistent buggers! Good to see the pair of you using shoulder belays and Dachstein Mitts last week in Glen Coe - memories :-)
